PVC pipe toddler chair

These are another simple and cheap DIY project that can be done in a few hours. This project was found at Que Linda. Our boys love these chairs. They carry these things around everywhere.

You will need one piece of sturdy fabric such as corduray, denim,
or upholstery. I cut the fabric at 29.5" X 17.5". I used 1/2" seam
allowance. You can adjust the size of the chair and the fabric just as
long as the fabric has enough slack when it's put on the chair.

Once the fabric is cut, fold right sides together hot dog style and sew the long sides together. Then, move the seam so it is in the center and iron seams open. Sew shorter sides together. Leave a few inches on one side. Turn it inside out through that opening. Then
lie it flat and fold the short sides towards the middle on the side of
the fabric with the seam. I folded 3" on each side. Then sew it down.
I ended up sewing two lines so it would take some wear and tear. After you've made two loops on the short ends of the fabric, you're done, and now it's time to work with the PVC pipe.

All you need is 1 3/4"x10 pvc pipe. Cut into the following sections:
7 sections at 10 inches
2 sections at 6 inches
4 sections at 4 inches
4 sections at 5 inchesThis is the best time to clean up the writing on the pipe as well. Put the pieces together as in the second picture below. I glued all the pieces together with the exception for the 2 10" pieces that hold the fabric and the 10" piece behind the fabric. This way we can change out various fabrics depending on what the seasons are and what the boys like at that time. Put all pieces together without the fabric and paint. Once the paint is dry then slide the fabric in and enjoy.

This is one easy work bench to build. I was able to complete this within a couple of hours. All you need to get is 1 sheet (4'x8') of 7/16 " OSB plywood and 5 2x4x8's. When I bought the plywood from Lowe's I went ahead and had them cut the plywood in half(2'x8'), mainly because I don't have a table saw at home. Anyways. The original plans that I found are at hammerzone.com

The first step is to cut the 2x4's. The original plans that I found had the legs at 32". To me that was too short. I ended up making the legs at 44". Once you cut the 4 legs, you need to cut the stretchers. There are 4 long stretchers that are 48" long, and the 4 end stretchers are cut to 24" long.

The second step is to assemble that side frame. take 2 legs and 2 long stretchers.…

We have a small counter in our dinning room/kitchen that my wife uses to store art supplies and nail polish etc. She kept asking me to build a nail polish rack and shelves. Well this is what I eventually came up with. I had some scrap plywood and bought some 1x2 boards. Then just pieced them all together. And after everything was put back on the counter this is what it looks like now.
